The Bad Boy Effect
Terrible Person
Harry's Point of View
"Okay so I know I was drunk last night but I'm pretty sure Ada wasn't wearing the same thing when she came back inside. And she smelled different. Like--"
"Like Maggie stupid. It was raining outside so when she came in she put on some of Maggie's clothes. Stop being paranoid Harry." Louis was right. It's not like she went anywhere with Niall and came back. She couldn't have. "Where's Niall anyway? I thought he was going to play with us."
"He texted me earlier and said he couldn't make it but he'd be at my house tonight. But it's cool, now we can play four on four. I'll take Louis."
"That's not fair Liam! Louis' the best and you had him last time!"
"Thanks Zayn. You make me feel so special." I laughed and kicked the ball at him.
Playing with the guys is always fun. No matter what was going on in my mind wandered away from everything. We played for another hour and then left to our own homes to take showers. This was going to be a fun night and hopefully I can find out if Niall was with Ada--which he wasn't. I really should be nice to him though; he is Ada's friend.
I rinsed my body off and texted Ada,
To: My Ada 12:33 pm
Hey Ada, I know you're at work but I was thinking about stopping by. I know you're going to El's tonight so I was hoping to see you before. Miss you
I really need to start reading my texts before I send them. Everything was spelled perfectly but I just sound so desperate. I put my phone away and went to the kitchen. Maybe I'd make a grilled cheese. I took out the simple ingredients and turned on the stove. I rubbed my forehead worried that Ada may not respond. Then there was a knock at the back door. That's a little creepy. I opened the door and Louis was there. I chuckled,
"You okay? Do you not know how to use the front door?"
"Maggie is walking her dog and after last night I really don't want to see her." I have no idea what happened but I don't think I want to know. "So what are you doing?"
"Making some food; want some?"
"Sure." I waited for him to talk to me about why he was here. I'm been really jumpy lately since Niall showed up. "So?"
"Oh, yeah. Well last night I stepped outside for a minute to get some air after Maggie tried to have sex with me." I could feel my heart start to race. I flipped the sandwiches over on the pan hoping his next words didn't have to do with Ada. "I saw something."
"What the hell did you see Louis?"
"I saw some guy walking down the street a little drunk." I finally took a breath. "It made me think maybe we could write a song about partying and staying up since that's what we do." He gave me a cheeky grin and I slid a plate to him with his grilled cheese.
"You really get on my nerves some times you know?" I laughed and sat down. Thank god for Louis. "Hey can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah, ask away."
"Do you know how I got home last night?"
"Of course," Louis said as he licked his fingers, "Your little bird took you home and then I have no idea what you guys did." He laughed and continued eating. I guess that's a good thing.
Ada's Point of View
I could feel my phone vibrating and I hoped it was just my mom or El. I really didn't want to look but I ran to the bathroom and let Scooter make some drinks. He needed practice anyway--he's terrible.
From: Hazza 12:33 pm
Hey Ada, I know you're at work but I was thinking about stopping by. I know you're going to El's tonight so I was hoping to see you before. Miss you
"No, no, no." I sighed and stared at the screen. I debated whether I should text him back or not. I really liked Harry but my feelings for Niall were much stronger. I shouldn't have tried to hide behind Harry; that wasn't fair for him. For once Niall was right. My thumbs moved around, trying to figure out what to say.
To: Hazza 12:42 pm
We're actually pretty busy today. It is Saturday, haha. Maybe tomorrow?
I made sure to throw that ha-ha in there to make it sounded livelier. I slid my phone in my back pocket and buried my face in my hands. I'm such a terrible person. I can't help what I feel for Niall. This was going to be really awkward for the 'band'. And I'm going to have to make sure Liam doesn't kill Niall. It isn't his fault. It's mine. It buzzed again.
From: Hazza 12:45 pm
Okay, no problem.
He's upset. He's totally upset. I kicked the wall and I'm pretty sure I broke my big toe. I sat down and used the wall as my chair--holding my foot and crying. I'm a mess, a huge mess.
*flashback*
"This is wrong Niall." I said with our lips still touching. I could barely see anymore from all the rain.
"I know, I'm sorry." He was sorry but I don't know if I was. Harry was an amazing kisser and it's not that Niall was better; it's just that it feels more meaningful. "Ada, you can't play games anymore. You have to pick. If you want Harry then fine. I can't stop you but you can't keep going back and forth. And if you want me, I'm not going to change for you. I'm going to be me--I'm just going to try to be the me I used to be." I have no idea what to say so I'm just going to kiss him again. I've always wanted to kiss in the rain.
He ran his hands down my side and picked me up. I laughed as we spun in a circle. "I told you the rain is fun."
"I guess it is."
*end of flashback*
I hit the back of my head against the wall a few times and someone opened the door slightly, "Hey Ada." Scooter said as if I were a fragile piece of glass. I held my breath to try and make my voice not sound so weak.
"Yeah, I'm coming Scooter. Sorry."
"Is anyone in there?"
"No, but it's okay, I'll be--" Scooter walked in and locked the door. He sat next to me and hugged me.
"I think you should go home. Amy just showed up and we'll be able to handle it." I didn't argue with him. He helped me up and he walked out. I wiped my tears off and tried to make my eyes look not so red. I wish I had some makeup. I felt my phone again but I ignored it. I grabbed my things and left.
I ran up to my room and laid in my bed. My dad was home playing video games with Liam and I hoped that would last a while. I curled up, not bothering to change out of my work clothes or even take off my shoes. Of course someone had to come see how I was. That's just how our family worked.
"Ada? Are you okay?" It was Liam through the door. I want to tell someone but I don't know if he is the right person. I can't tell El and I definitely can't tell Sarah or Maggie. Their mouths were so big they could fit, well, I don't know, something huge inside. I tried to hold my breath again,
"Yeah, great." I tried to laugh but he didn't buy it. Liam opened the door and I made sure I was facing the wall. "I just want to be alone for a little while Liam. I promise, I'm okay." He sat on my bed and rubbed my back like I did to Niall the night before.
"You know you can talk to me about anything." I was crying so hard I felt like I was going to throw up. I sat up and fell into his arms.
"I'm a terrible person Liam." I whispered, "I don't know what's wrong with me." He shoosed me,
"You aren't a terrible person. We all make mistakes Ada."
"You'll hate me if I tell you. I can't tell anyone Liam." He took a hold of my shoulders lightly and made me look at him,
"I could never hate you. Let me help you."
I looked out of my window and saw mom and Harry's mom walking down the street, talking and laughing. I rubbed my eyes. "I'm going to hurt Harry but I don't want to. I can't help that I don't like him like that. I mean I do but I have stronger feelings for someone else." I belted some more.
"Who do you like Ada?" I'm pretty sure he knows but I looked into his eyes, hoping he wouldn't make me say it. He didn't look disappointed or judgmental.
"Niall." I responded weakly. Liam sighed,
"I thought so." he paused, searching for words, "I don't really know exactly how to help you in this situations but I know you have to tell Harry the truth. I'm guessing Niall already knows? You guys did leave together last night."
"You saw that?" He nodded. I'm just really thankful he didn't say anything to Harry. "I kissed him. I hung out with Harry two days in a row and we had a great time and then I kissed Niall. I couldn't help it." Liam grabbed the back of his neck, thinking.
"I told you you'd be mad."
"Hey, I'm not mad! This is going to sound stupid and selfish but it's just going to be awkward--"
"With the band; I know."
"I think what you need to do is talk to Harry and then I'll talk to him. I know he likes you a lot but you're doing the right thing. You guys have only been together-ish for a couple of weeks. He's Harry," Liam tried to joke, "he'll be okay. He's the ladies man." I didn't laugh even though I know he's just trying to cheer me up. "Ada you are one of the nicest girls I've ever met. I know that might sound bias since I'm your brother but everyone says it and no one is going to judge you because you made a mistake. Hell, I don't even think it's a mistake. Your feelings changed; it happens."
Liam and I talked for a while and then I stayed on my bed. I decided not to go to El's tonight. I needed to be alone. I locked my bedroom door and Liam said he wouldn't let any of the guys know I was here. As far as they knew I was at Elisha's house.
I finally opened my phone to see who texted me,
From: Oaks 1:03 pm
Yo, im goin 2 El's tonight 2! It wll b fun!
How was I going to explain this to Oakley. I forgot I could tell him my problems too. I really am an awful person. I ran downstairs quickly and grabbed a whole bunch of food so I wouldn't be hungry for the night. I locked my door and took a nap before hearing the doorbell. The first has arrived.
"Okay so I know I was drunk last night but I'm pretty sure Ada wasn't wearing the same thing when she came back inside. And she smelled different. Like--"
"Like Maggie stupid. It was raining outside so when she came in she put on some of Maggie's clothes. Stop being paranoid Harry." Louis was right. It's not like she went anywhere with Niall and came back. She couldn't have. "Where's Niall anyway? I thought he was going to play with us."
